To give an opening to the spirit OF
adventure and scientific research which
has been cut off from the North Pole,
it is proposed to dig q great big hole
right straight into the earth, and run
it down as far as the weather will per-
NIT, just to see what is inside the old
thing. A joint stock company has
been organized for this purpose, and
possibly, results may prove OF i'm
portance.

COMMISSIONS Tyler 81 Connecticut
has just done a public service by pub
fishing the commissions paid on cur
rent business to agents. Every one
knows these are large: but few realize
that one dollar in six paid for insur-
ance goes to the agent and that in
many companies ons.fourth is paid
out in commissions. On the aggregate
fire premium income of the compan.
les reportingin Connecticut amounting
to $50, 600, 900, $14, 5Oo,0 900, or II. rs
per cent, goes to agents. For stock
holders in insurance companies these
figures raise a practical question Of
Importance in a business which prof.
its for sometime had a. hard fight with
increasing expenses. But it is quite
as serious q matter for the public TO
inquire whether this way Of doing
business does not encourage over m
surance and SO pile up the moral
hazard the deadliest and most de-
moraIising OF all FIRE causes. II insur,
ance a not more difficult, would
not FIRE be less frequent? They IN
quessionabIy arc under the French
plan, which makes a man RESPONSE
ble for his neighbors' losses for a fire
originating on his premises unlessha
can prove no negligence.

CONCENTRATIONS.
A Newspaper Paragraph Which
 Causes a Sensation in Berlin.

A paragraph in one of the Berlin papers causes considerable anxiety among the natura- Gzed German-Americau residents in Berlin. This paragraph gives notice that. by decision of the German government, inferior adminis- trative authorities will in future take no notice of complaints regarding ex- pulsion from Germany of Germans who lost their German citizenship by five years resi- dence in other countries, together with the ac- quisition of some foreign citizenship; that such denationalized Germans are subject to imme- diate expulsion from Germany unless they have reacquired German citizenship; that the law of 1870, which compels judges to grant German citizenship to Germans who by long residence in foreign countries have lost their rights as Germans does not apply to those who during their residence abroad have obtained citizenship from some foreign nation.
 In special cases such persons may, at the discretion of the German authorities, regain their German rights but it is plainly the intention of this admin strative decision to force the attention to liability of expulsion from Germany of all denationalized Germans who attempt to return to Germany regardless of their intention or declaration to again be- come German subjects.

A Dakota Zephyr.

A severe wind, which towards nightfall cul- minated in tornado, lasted throughout one day at Watertown, and drove the prairie fire up to the western limits of the town, destroy ing some buildings. The fire department and the entire population turned out and by heroic effort saved that portion of the town. In the even- ing binding clouds of dust driven by the wind rendered it impossible for one to see build ing half block distant. This lasted nearly an hour. At this time the prairie southeast of the town caught fire and the alarm was given by every bell in the town. Fortunately, however, the wind changed and drove the flames from the town to the north side. The entire eastern portion of the town seemed on fire at one time. The mercury stood at 65 dur ing the afternoon. During the storm freight yards, and when last heard of were going be- fore the wind down the track towards Garry. Lumber piles were scattered and light articles were strewn about the streets.

FIFTEEN OR MORE LIVES LOST ON THE PLAINS OF KANSAS.

No less than fifteen persons have been burned to death by the prairie fires, which, starting near Nicodemus Graham county), Kansas, have swept northwest on an air line into Noc- ton county, destroying everything in & path that in places is from two and half to seven miles wide. Starting on the south fork of the Solomon River in Graham county, the fire swept north to the north fork, which it crossed at Edmund, station on the Central Branch Railroad in Norton county, and at last accounts it was still sweeping toward the northwest, di- a6onally across Norton county.
 Thousands of head of stock of all kinds have been burned, and thousands of tons of hay, corn and wheat, and from 100 to 175 houses and barns have been destroyed The people living along the line of the fire have been left homeless and destitute.
